Flix Cloud and S3 makes video sharing really easy
Being quite busy with implementing a video sharing feature on Sheet Music Trade, I have found that On2 had done a good job with Flix Cloud. Its REST based API makes video processing a real simple job and with Amazon S3 storage and Flow Player it seems that anyone with some level of programming can create a video sharing community nowadays. The days of struggling with FFMpeg (and php-ffmpeg for image extraction) are not very far away (still using this setup for one of the largest video sharing communities in Turkey), I feel that I won’t think about using Flix Cloud twice from now on.
Flix Cloud PHP is a great PHP sample library for encoding videos on Flix Cloud and Amazon S3 PHP Class is also a great source for managing files programmatically on S3.
